i see. you're using Android 7.0 (Android N) ... i was using CM13 , Android 6.0 (Android MarshMellow) oh and infact , i downloaded the ROM from xda forums ...

here's the EXACT ROM that was running on my phone before disaster struck ;

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-t3457130

i DID use the TWRP File Manager but i don't remember exploring that particular 'sdcard' folder . but do tell me , what did you see in your 'sdcard' folder in file manager ?
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
Okay. I don't know whether your ROM has caused this. But yeah 'sdcard' is indeed the folder of adopted SD. My regular movies, photos are stored in adopted SD. Which are in 'sdcard'.

I thought you can copy paste the .key file from vold folder to sdcard before flashing a ROM.
[Moto E General] yaxir0:
i can do that. but here's the thing that's making me hesitant.

i can see the /data/misc/vold folder in TWRP even when my ADOPTIVE SDCARD is NOT in the phone. is that cause for concern ? i mean , i thought the .key file was supposed to be in memory card and not in internal storage.

ALSO , it appears i can't flash a new rom before factory resetting the phone. so how do i ensure that the .key file remains intact even after i factory reset the phone and flash the ROM ?

P.S/UPDATE : I CAN SE A FOLDER named 'sdcard' in TWRP file manager. it is visible even when there's no SD card in the phone ! Also , at the beginning of the issue i tried to transfer ROM files in the phone , through adb , and those files landed in the folder named 'sdcard' ! does that help , somehow ?
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
Okay. vold folder is not inside SD. It has it's own partition inside your phone. Hence when you wipe data, the .key file also gets wiped out. So this trick works.

Also I don't know again about 'sdcard' showing but there is no SD inside your phone. Even if it is showing, it's not any of the concerns. This is all I know. Hope your problem gets solved.:good:
[Moto E General] yaxir0:
thanks mate !

just one final thing ... does TWRP file manager show your data (pics,photos/etc) on the 'sdcard' folder when you browse it while the SD card is inside the phone ? i don't see any stuff of that kind (like the DCIM folder which should be for cam pics etc)
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
Yes. My sdcard folder shows my pics, books, videos in their appropriate folders.
[Moto E General] yaxir0:
damn ... i don't see anything :'(
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
Have you put your SD in other devices eg PC, phone? Did it work properly on them?
[Moto E General] yaxir0:
nope ,

on Windows it prompts me for formatting it.

on Linux ... well , it shows UNKNOWN filesystem , since it's encrypted

i'm currently in the process of trying to decrypt it , through Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Terminal , but in vain .. atm :crying:

i'm losing hope with time :(:rolleyes:
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
Perhaps this is SD card problem then. Post your question on as many forums as possible. Hope you come out of this. :svetius: and when you come out of this you can share your knowledge here. :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=7419337]Vikrant Desai[/MENTION] , ok mate. i'm now going to flash the ROM once again

it won't install without a wipe , so i need to know precisely what to wipe so that i don't lose the adoptive sd card data and am still able to get my phone back to normal. i'll flash the EXACT same ROM as before (even the version and zip file is identical to what it was when i first flashed it)

any step by step guide , of wiping stuff through twrp , backing up .key file and flashing the rom is much appreciated !

P.S wiping JUST the cache and dalvik cache doesn't allow me to reflash the ROM , so i think i'll have to wipe more stuff
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
First move the .key to SD card. Then in twrp back up your stuff. Then go to 'wipe' and then 'advanced wipe' and choose cache, dalvik cache, data and system. After wiping, go to 'install' and flash your ROM. Then via twrp file manager move the .key file from SD card to vold folder. If you want gapps, then flash them now. Reboot now it's done!

PS : We Moto E 1st gen users follow this method to flash a new ROM.
[Moto E General] yaxir0:
[MENTION=7419337]Vikrant Desai[/MENTION]

here's a small catch ... my .key file is in the UNENCRYPTED sdcard (Which show appropriate free space and files when inspected through twrp file manager)

so what i do is

1. insert unencrypted sd card in phone , it has the .key file and ROM file as well. (i wiped the data , cache , dalvik cache , system BUT i also flashed the INTERNAL STORAGE ... did i do something wrong ? )

1.1. then ,i flash the ROM and but there's no /data/misc/vold folder. the data folder is there but there's not much in it ,just a 'media' folder in it ...

2. Turn OFF the phone since the UNENCRYPTED SD card is STILL in it ... the encrypted card is still outside.

3. swap unencrypted card with encrypted card and restart the system into system mode (which is the normal OS mode) (remember , the encrypted SD card won't show in TWRP file manager)

4. upon booting the OS , it first optimizes and sets up apps. when i go check in settings , it says " unsupported Transcend SD Card"

5. i turn off phone , swap the sd cards (now , unencrypted SD card with .key file is in the phone) . i boot into recovery.

6. i go into file manager and see that MANY folders are back ... including the /data/misc/vold . i quickly copy the .key file from external_sd to vold folder

7. i turn off the phone again , swap the un encrypted sd with encrypted sd card and boot into os.

8. i see that the phone is detecting my SD card. upon going into Settings-> Storage USB , i see that it even shows that in my SD card 1.63 GB out of 14.55 GB is filled, BUT it doesn't show anything else. it lists Apps (0.00B) and Cache (0.00B) , no options for pictures , documents etc

9. so basically , the .key file is good for making the OS recognise the card BUT , it is UNABLE to show any of it's contents. i browse the gallery but i don't see anything , no pics nothing ... EVEN THO they're occupying space in the SD card and are CLEARLY present in there!

10. I haven't flashed GApps yet... is that a reason this is happening ?

11. i don't have the System backup (it was in the internal storage and as i said before , i WIPED the internal storage of phone , by mistake) but i DO have backup of Data Partition , in unencrypted SD card. so , i insert the unencrypted SD card and try to RESTORE the DATA Partition , in hopes of getting my phone to recognise the sd card's contents , on this new OS installation. Restoring of Data is successful according to TWRP...

12. now , if i boot the OS (regardless of whether i am using the encrypted SD or unencrypted ) ... the phone is STUCK at animation. (so , i guess something is wrong with the data partition that was present BEFORE the bootloop and boot animation problem ???)

any suggestions or help i can get?
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
So your phone can't read your encrypted SD at all? Did you try using 'Mount' option in twrp? Wiping internal storage is fine. No problem with that. Restore should work man. Next time take full backup.

Also when you flash ROM, your vold folder should appear. Because that is where the .key file should belong.

You haven't flashed gapps then it's alright. No problem with that.

If this trick is giving you problems then try the very first trick in the OP. Also check on the XDA thread about your phone regarding the correctness of this method for your device. Look out for other methods too.
[Moto E General] Hemuli:
THIS happened to me on my SGS4! After inserting the keyfile into /data/misc/vold in TWRP, I actually was able to see the contents, and I even restored the rom from it. But I couldn't use the contents in the rom. I then tried to migrate data and I think it ended up basically formatting the card. Now I can't see the files on it even in TWRP. So I hope you didn't lose any important files and found out you can copy the files into a safe place in TWRP.

If you are using nougat then the tricks in this thread can be safely avoided. Just flash your ROMs the way you would normally do.

Hi, i have a similar problem, Moto g3 with android 6.0.1 (unrooted), adopted memory sd card suddenly appears unmounted. Copied an image of the sd card to my pc, i can mount it and see the 2 android partitions, so i should have at least some uncorrupted data left. If i root my device now without installing a custom ROM, can i retrieve the key needed to decrypt my sd card data, or will it be deleted/replaced with a new one? I am very annoyed at the thought of loosing all my pics i took since my last backup. Kind regards !
[Moto E General] DevelopersWork:
thanks this just worked

i have changed my rom from mm to lp still data is saved
[Moto E General] Aquib sayyed:
Hey I'm on pie ROM and I want to switch to a different pie ROM. My SD card is as internal, so what do I do just install the ROM as usual right, my data won't go right. Do I need to use the trick given here. Please help. Thanks
[Moto E General] Vikrant Desai:
I no longer use this phone. So I can't comment about this. All the best.
[Moto E General] Hemuli:
It's best to have everything you don't want to lose backed up anyway at all times. Switching between different roms probably means that you have to wipe /data for it to work properly. I don't have the same phone, though.

But always have at least a copy somewhere of all the data you don't want to lose; even when you are not performing operations like these.
[Moto E General] Aquib sayyed:
Not for this phone, for any custom ROM installed phone, I'm on pie and sdcard is formatted as internal, so after flashing a new ROM will I still get my data
[Moto E General] Leonardo Lorenzo:
Hi, i don't know if i have understand well

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wceoscar:
Hello guys,

It's been a while since the last time I visited the SGS3 section, over a year ago I remember updating the bootloader in order to upgrade/flash to 4.4.4 which went very smooth and was a success. I gave the phone to a sibling who has been very happy with it for the last year and a half. Lately, the phone has been very unstable with the 4.4.4 KitKat ROM, WiFi doesn't turn on, Bluetooth is unstable, Unstable apps/Force closes. I tried a wipe/factory restore and re-flashed the ROM but the problems persisted.

I did a little research and liked what CyanogenMod is doing and since they are actively supporting the phone I decided to flash CM12.1 and the provided Open Google-Apps, CM12.1 flashed successfully but Open Google-apps refused to install, CWM displayed (Section 6) error which upon research it is common with CWM and the solution is to flash TWRP. I booted with CM12.1 in order to install TWRP Manager through the APK and flash TWRP but it force-closed when it searched for the device model. WiFi was working but Bluetooth was still unstable.

I would like to know what would be the best way to proceed in this case, I would like to upgrade the recovery to TWRP and flash CM12.1 or any other stable Lollipop ROM.

Thanks,

Oscar
